New Miami Heat forward LeBron James will launch his new signature Nike shoe, the LeBron 8, at the opening of a new House of Hoops by Foot Locker Store at Miami's Dadeland Mall on Saturday.

James will be speaking to 100 local student athletes about preparing for the upcoming season, his new shoe, and of course, "achieving success on the basketball court," a release on the appearance states. After his talk, James will debut a South Beach edition of the LeBron 8. (Previously referred to as the Pre-Heat LeBron 8, the shoe is decidedly South Beach with aqua and pink).

The appearance is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. at House of Hoops by Foot Locker at Dadeland Mall, 7535 Dadeland Mall.

The non-South Beach edition -- that's red and black -- is scheduled to be released at retail on Oct. 26. The shoe costs $160.

The Argus

It's 2 p.m. on a Tuesday and the line snakes down the hall, out the door and nearly around the corner of the portable building which houses Operation School Bell in Hillsboro.

Fidgety children wait for their turn to "shop" the shelves and hangers stocked with crisp new clothes

This is only Operation School Bell's third day of the 2010-11 school year and, by the time volunteers have helped their last "customers" at around 7 p.m., they will have outfitted more than 70 children with back-to-school clothes.

Operation School Bell is a nation-wide program in 122 communities and operated by Assistance League chapters, which raise all of the money to fund the program. Besides grants and donations, Operation School Bell is run with the proceeds from the Assistance League's Beaverton thrift and consignment stores. A major fundraising event is the upcoming "Dancing with Portland Stars" gala set for Nov. 20 at the Portland Art Museum.

The Assistance League of Portland has run the Hillsboro program since 1998, when volunteers gave out 88 winter jackets to children from the district's two lowest-income school.

Since that first year, Operation School Bell has expanded to provide new jeans, shirts, socks, underwear and shoe vouchers to growing numbers of children recommended by their classroom teachers and school counselors. All of Hillsboro School District's elementary schools now participate and the district provides the space for storing and distributing the clothes.

During the 2009-10 school year, more than 720 children were outfitted with new clothes, and this year the Assistance League anticipates even more families to participate.

"We expect to do more this year because the need has become so great," aid Linda Springer, an Assistance League member who chairs Hillsboro Operation School Bell.

Springer and fellow volunteers, Liz Gillespie, Sally Rove and Carol Laughlin, have helper duties on a sunny October day.
